1 CBS NEWS POLL For release: May 1, :30 P.M. EDT RISING CONCERNS: GAS PRICES, IRAQ AND THE COUNTRY S DIRECTION April 28-30, 2006 Concerns about the war in Iraq and the emerging issues of gas and oil prices and immigration appear to have made Americans pessimistic about the way things are going in this country. They also continue to keep the President s approval rating at its lowest level ever. 71% now say things in the U.S. have pretty seriously gotten off on the wrong track -- the highest number ever in the CBS News Poll. Only 24% say things are headed in the right direction. Last October when the country was still reeling from the fallout of Hurricane Katrina, 69% said things were off on the wrong track. DIRECTION OF THE COUNTRY Now 3/ /2005 4/2005 Right direction 24% 28% 26% 32% Wrong track Polls conducted by other organizations in 1979 and 1980 showed similar and even slightly more negative numbers. Today, even 45% of Republicans say things in the U.S. have seriously gotten off on the wrong track, while 49% say things are going in the right direction. For George W. Bush, this means low approval ratings. Only 33% now approve of his job performance, his lowest approval rating yet in CBS News Polls. 58% disapprove. His approval rating among Republicans has dropped to 68%. Nearly one in four Republicans disapproves. BUSH JOB APPROVAL Approve 33% Disapprove 58 Exactly three years since the President gave the speech declaring major combat operations in Iraq at an end, Americans say that war remains the most important problem facing the country. But gas prices (13%) now edges out the economy and jobs (12%) for second place. The previous time the issue of gas prices reached this level of concern was last August, when the average price of gas was about $2.60 a gallon, less than it is today. 8% also mention the issue of immigration.

2 MOST IMPORTANT PROBLEM Now 4/2006 3/2006 8/2005 War in Iraq 23% 27% 20% 24% Gas and oil prices Economy/jobs Immigration On all these issues even in the assessment of his handling of the economy, which a majority of Americans believe is in good shape the President receives extremely low approval ratings. THE GAS PRICE HIKE On this issue, the American people display a unity of opinion: just over eight in 10 Americans think the government should be addressing the recent rise in gas prices, and fewer than one in 10 - and just a handful of Republicans -- think the government or the Bush Administration is doing much to address it. Only 8% think the government in Washington is doing all it can reasonably be expected to do, while 87% thinks it could be doing more. That view is widespread across all political parties; only 14% of Republicans think the government is doing all it can, as do 4% of Democrats and 8% of Independents. IS GOVT. DOING ALL IT CAN TO KEEP GAS PRICES DOWN? All Reps. Dems. Inds. Yes 8% 14% 4% 8% No Americans also believe whatever the President is doing may not be enough. Just 17% say they approve of the way the President is handling the issue of gas prices. Three in four disapprove. Even a majority of the members of the President s own party disapprove. BUSH HANDLING GAS PRICES All Reps. Dems. Inds. Approve 17% 35% 6% 13% Disapprove Only 8% think the Administration has a clear plan for keeping the price of gas down. 82% think they haven t developed one yet. Only 13% of Republicans think the Administration has a clear plan in this area, while 71% thinks they do not. DOES BUSH ADMIN. HAVE CLEAR PLAN FOR KEEPING GAS PRICES DOWN? All Reps. Dems. Inds. Yes 8% 13% 4% 9% No

3 In September 2005, when gas prices rose in the wake of Hurricane Katrina, 12% thought the Administration had a clear plan for keeping gas prices down. Americans clearly are looking to the government to address this issue. 83% of Americans think the government SHOULD be doing something to keep the price of gasoline down. Only 12% think the government should stay out of the matter. That sentiment is widespread across the political spectrum: 80% of Republicans, 81% of Independents and 88% of Democrats agree. SHOULD THE GOVERNMENT DO SOMETHING ABOUT GAS PRICES? Yes 83% No 12 And Americans expect both the Executive and Legislative branches of government to have solutions. 29% think the Congress should have the lead responsibility for dealing with gas prices, 25% want the Secretary of Energy to take the lead, and another 24% think the President should do so. WHO SHOULD HAVE RESPONSIBILITY FOR DEALING WITH AS PRICES? Congress 29% Secretary of Energy 25 President 24 By more than two to one, Americans think the Democrats would be more effective than the Republicans at keeping gas prices down. 47% of Americans think the Democratic Party is more likely to see to it that gas prices are low, while only 20% think the Republicans are more likely to do so. 12% think neither party would be able to do so. WHICH PARTY WOULD SEE TO IT GAS PRICES ARE LOW? Democrats 47% Republicans 20 Neither 12 One in five Republicans think the Democrats would do a better job seeing to it that gas prices are low. Americans would like to blame oil company greed for high gas prices. 64% place a great deal of the blame for gas price hikes on oil companies trying to increase their profits by raising prices, and another 24% think oil companies should receive some of the blame. BLAME OIL COMPANIES FOR GAS PRICE HIKES? A great deal 64% Some 24 Not much/not at all 10

4 Concerns about gas prices may also affecting opinions about how the President is handling the economy generally. Despite the fact that 57% say the economy is in good shape, the President s approval rating on the economy is at his lowest. THE WAR IN IRAQ BUSH APPROVAL ON THE ECONOMY Approve 31% Disapprove 58 Not since the fall of 2004, when an election campaign helped President Bush re-state his case for the war, has a majority of Americans called the decision to invade Iraq the right thing to do. Today, three years after President Bush spoke aboard the USS Lincoln in front of the now-famous Mission Accomplished banner and declared major combat operations in Iraq at an end, just 44% of Americans say that taking action against Iraq was the right thing to do. DID U.S. DO THE RIGHT THING GOING TO WAR WITH IRAQ? Now 4/2006 2/2006 5/ / /2003 3/2003 Right thing 44% 43% 41% 47% 53% 62% 69% Should have stayed out During the initial phase of the conflict in March 2003, and also after Saddam Hussein was captured later that year, most called it the right thing. 41% say things are now going well in Iraq for the U.S., and most Americans 55% - say things are going badly. HOW ARE THINGS IN IRAQ GOING FOR U.S.? Now 4/2006 2/2006 2/2005 5/ /2003 5/2003 Well 41% 41% 36% 53% 37% 65% 72% Badly In May 2003, 72% of Americans thought the war was going well. Two-thirds said so later that year, after the capture of Saddam Hussein. But that measure turned mostly negative in the spring of 2004, and the last time a majority said things were going well was in February 2005, soon after the Iraqis had held successful elections. But many Americans still voice support for at least the first phase of the war -- removing Saddam Hussein. 36% say the U.S. was right to both oust Saddam and then stay to try to rebuild Iraq, while another 28% say they support the removal of Saddam but then wanted the U.S. to leave Iraq soon after. 33% think the U.S. ought never to have gotten involved in Iraq at all.

5 WHAT SHOULD THE U.S. HAVE DONE? Remove Saddam AND stay to rebuild Iraq 36% Remove Saddam, then left Iraq 28 Never gotten involved in Iraq 33 Only 30% approve of the way President Bush is handling the war in Iraq matching the low recorded in February. 64% disapprove. BUSH S HANDLING OF IRAQ Now 2/2006 5/ /2004 5/ /2003 5/2003 Approve 30% 30% 38% 45% 39% 59% 74% Disapprove Three years ago, three in four approved. Approval dipped in the fall of that year, but bounced back to 59% after the capture of Saddam Hussein in December. Since then, fewer than half the public has approved of the President s handling of Iraq. In the spring of 2004, that figure dropped below 40%. It rose somewhat that fall, but declined to under 40% again in the spring of Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld also receives his lowest approval rating to date. 33% now approve of the job Rumsfeld is doing as Defense Secretary, while 49% disapprove. In January 42% of Americans approved of the job he was doing. 57% of Republicans approve of Secretary Rumsfeld s performance while 64% of Democrats disapproves. RUMSFELD JOB RATING Now 1/2006 5/2004 Approve 33% 42% 40% Disapprove Don t know IMMIGRATION Americans give the President low marks on handling immigration, now seen as one of the country s top problems. Just 28% approve of how George W. Bush is handling than issue, while 56% disapprove. BUSH HANDLING IMMIGRATION All Reps. Dems. Inds. Approve 28% 47% 19% 21% Disapprove Fewer than half of Republicans approve of the President s handling of this issue.

6 TERRORISM In this poll, just 3% name terrorism as the country s most important problem, down from 6% last month, and 12% last summer. Even with the lessened public focus on the issue, assessment of the President s handling of terrorism remains mixed at best. 45% of Americans approve of the way George W. Bush is handling the campaign against terrorism, while 45% disapprove. This is still the President s strongest issue; but since last fall fewer than half the country has approved. BUSH HANDLING TERRORISM Approve 45% Disapprove 45 One new possible threat to the U.S. could come from Iran. But while tensions mount over Iran s nuclear program, most Americans see that nation as a threat that can still be contained by diplomacy. These views have not changed much since February. IRAN IS Now 2/2006 A threat requiring military action now 18% 20% A threat that can be contained via diplomacy now Not a threat to the U.S This poll was conducted among a nationwide random sample of 719 adults, interviewed by telephone April 28-30, The error due to sampling for results based on the entire sample could be plus or minus four percentage points. Error for subgroups may be higher.
